Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied this all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion.

A woman's vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man's subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response. This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife\/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can't happen through words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It\u003c\/i\u003e teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don't require \"trying to turn a man into a woman.\" Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia Love, Ed.D., is an acclaimed therapist and speaker and author of four books, including \u003ci\u003eHot Monogamy \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Love\u003c\/i\u003e.
